Counselling & Spiritual Care

The Hospice is committed to providing holistic services to patients and their families, whatever their needs may be. Our Spiritual Care Services provides multi-faith spiritual and/or religious guidance to patients, family members and staff.

The Hospice Chaplains work hand in hand with our clinical team to ensure patients’ needs are assessed and addressed at every stage of treatment. Chaplains can offer an open, sensitive, and non-judgmental presence, with an acceptance of different beliefs, cultures and values. We aim to support the needs of each patient with compassionate care.

Spiritual care services are available to patients and families at no charge, during any stage of their journey. Types of services may include:

Prayer

Education about spiritual health and well being

Reconciliation ministry

Spiritual care treatments integrated into the patient care plan goals

Communications and teamwork with the faith community of patients, upon request

Bereavement ministry with the dying and their loved ones

Spiritual assessments and/or interventions

Facilitated connections to communities within the patients faith

Ethical consultations with the patient and family

Spiritual care for patients with life-altering diagnoses in or outside the home
